THIS WEEK AT ST JOHN'S

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

LINKS NOT WORKING The ability to link items is broken and Constant Contact is not sure when it will be fixed (which is why you didn't receive this on Thursday). So this is a very abbreviated version of TWSJ! You need to copy and paste the links into your browser to get there. Hopefully all will be back to normal for next week - expect an extra-long version!
